Challenging, but fun!! I'm happy with my progress from the course and am excited to dive deeper into the anatomy of the face and beyond.
I haven't began learning about light and color yet and am thinking about taking a digital painting course soon. There are few great options provided on Proko and I'm leaning toward Jeremy Vickery's course. Any suggestions from anyone in the chat??

Looks great Jon. I’m thinking on doing the digital painting as well.

I enjoyed this assignment. I can feel my drawings getting better and better each time. I’m sure I batted out of my league in some of them but I’m looking forward to getting the feedback and follow along to the other people’s work.

I really struggle with drawing from a tripod grip. I find myself to be more constricted and I definitely chicken scratch more than I realized! I suppose I should do more line exercises prior, but since this is all just fun practice I won’t get all worked up. I love the videos so far. Thank you proko.

I am starting to regret that I paid for this course. 6 lessons just about tools, seriously?
Most of that material I can find on YouTube for free (and probably on your channel).
WHY YOU ARE WAISTING almost an hour (56 minutes) just on tools??? why do we need a 20-minute video that explained how to sharpen our pencils???? Are you serious?
VERY DISAPPOINTED :(
Probably the last course that I paying on this platform!
But, have you watched those free YouTube videos? If not, I'm telling you, you haven't missed much. Stan and his team are on a whole 'nother level. We're just getting started. Instruction is irrelevant without the right tools to implement it. And, for the record, I had no idea about sharpening graphite to a bullet point so that the graphite lays down evenly. What?? Now I know. Off to impress my friends.
Hi Albert, I recommend you read Nicolas Malloy's comment above. Hopefully, when you've done so you will understand why Proko has committed so much time to the basics.
The initial portion of the course is free and is also released by Proko on Youtube for everyone's benefit.
I suspect that the more specific portions of the course and more specialized ones will be Premium only.
The same goes for other Proko's courses: a portion is released for general public, but the core stays for premium users.
I do not see anything wrong with that.
And these initial lessons are pretty good considering they are absolutely free.
I've pretty much lost interest. Unless what's next is something amazing for an absolute beginner I'll chalk it up to experience and move on.
I don´t see why being disappointed for being provided with such useful information. This is a basics course and its covering so much valuable information on materials. I've seen other courses that go straight to drawing and even though that might be good for some people, knowing your tools can save you a lot of time, frustration, money and also know which tools are adequate to get the results your're looking for in your drawings.
The course is just starting out, a lot of drawing lessons and proyects are yet to be released. From the description, the first one is coming out tomorrow. Hope you already have all your materials set, know how to get different results from your pencils as these lessons have shown:)
